The Tank Museum Guide to M4 Sherman

Fantastic book on the M4 and all its variants

This book chronicles the story from the Shermans ancestry all the way to the modern day examples that are still running and in operation. For scale modelers it gives very useful insight regarding all the small details that one wonders about when building such a model. The book also clears up a lot of common misconceptions about the Sherman, its use, and its opponents.

Great History Lesson on the M4 Sherman and all it's variables

I've always have been an M4 Sherman fan. It's not the most powerful tank in the era but what it lacks in firepower it makes up for it in it's versatility and just the sheer numbers produced. This book chronicles the development and history of the M4 Sherman. I especially enjoyed the unexpected chapter on owning, restoring and maintaining an M4. If only I had that kind of money. If you are a tank fan I recommend this well writing, highly illustrated book. Lots of pictures and charts.

Comprehensive look at America's primary WWII tank

The Tank Museum Guide to the M4 Sherman provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of the M4 Sherman. The book covers each aspect of the tank: engine, suspension, cannon, armor, etc., in terrific detail and fills in a lot of gaps in my understanding of how the Allies used the Sherman and how it stacked up against Axis armor. As for the physical attributes of the book, they are top quality in every respect. Beautifully printed, lavishly illustrated, heavy pages provide a smooth feel, and a rugged glossy hard cover protects it all. It is made to be enjoyed for generations. If you are a WWII armor enthusiast, you need this book on your shelf.
